Definitions

  • the present invention is generally related to the pumps field and more precisely relates to a centrifugal water pump having the multiple functions of depth suction, self-priming, pressure adjustment, self-priming with pressure adjustment, automatic start up and shut down.
  • the first type of these pumps comprises an internal by-pass through which a little share of water circulates backwards from the delivery side to the suction side, thus allowing the pump to be always flooded during the elimination of the air present in the suction pipe.
  • the pressure increases causing a ball valve provided in the by-pass to stop such backflow so as to reduce the pressure drops inside the pump.
  • An example of a pump of this first type is disclosed in FR-A-2 044 994 wherein the by-pass is defined by a jacket provided externally to the body of the pump and also forming both the inlet and the delivery ports. The water flowing in the jacket from the delivery to the inlet, and parallely to inlet channel, reaches the inlet through a unidirectional valve.
  • Other types of self-priming pumps are not provided with the ball valve in the by-pass and reduce the pressure drop due to the permanent internal circulation of water by means of a Venturi tube at the delivery side.
  • the second type of these pumps comprises a minor delivery outlet through which a share of flow is led to an ejector placed at the suction point (i.e. in a deep well) so as to increase the local pressure and allowing the water to be sucked by the pump in spite of the depth.
  • the pumps are provided with external circuits comprising either pressure control valves or flow control valves or speed control devices of the engine.
  • the pumps can be provided with automatic devices comprising pressure switches connected with the power supply of the engine of the pump and operating in case of overcoming the pressure limits inside the body of the pump.
  • the centrifugal pump which has a diffuser engaging with a suction body and a delivery body fixed to the upstream and downstream ends of said diffuser respectively and provided with corresponding suction and delivery chambers.
  • the diffuser is housed in a water jacket defined by a spacing case fixed between said bodies and communicating with said delivery chamber.
  • the characteristic of the pump is that said suction body comprises a multifunctional chamber communicating with the jacket and provided with a first and a second auxiliary outlet communicating with the suction chamber and with the external of the pump respectively.
  • plugging means engaging in said auxiliary outlets and suitable for different pumping functions.
  • a centrifugal pump has a diffuser 1 engaging with a rotor 25, a suction body 2 and a delivery body 3 fixed to the upstream and downstream ends la and 1b of said diffuser 1 respectively.
  • Suction body 2 and delivery body 3 are provided with corresponding suction and delivery chambers 4 and 5 respectively as well as a suction inlet 6 and delivery outlet 7.
  • the diffuser 1 is housed in a water jacket 8, defined by a spacing case 8a fixed between said bodies 2 and 3, communicating with said delivery chamber 5.
  • the suction body 2 comprises a multifunctional chamber 9 communicating with said jacket 8 and provided with a first and a second auxiliary coaxial threaded outlet 10 and 11, one leading to the outside of the pump and the other to the inside of the pump and in communication with suction chamber 4.
  • plugging means of said outlets 10 and 11 comprising a first plug 12 suitable for being screwed in first outlet 10 and a second plug 13 suitable for being screwed in second outlet 11.
  • the pump operates as a common centrifugal pump with water being sucked from suction chamber 4 and pumped by multistage rotor 25 with increasing pressure at said delivery chamber.
  • the water W in chamber 9 flows out of the pump and into a tube leading to an ejector, not shown, working like in a normal depth suction pump.
  • the pump according to the invention can operate as a self-priming pump through stopping outlet 11 by means of plug 13 and screwing in outlet 10 a valve 15 comprising a bushing 16 and a spring loaded sleeve 17 sliding on a plunger 18 integral to bushing 16.
  • Sleeve 17 has a cap-shaped end 19 suitable for plugging outlet 10 on the side of chamber 9.
  • a self-priming function is performed by the pump by means of valve 15 which, when water is not under pressure, has sleeve 17 in the position shown in figure 2.
  • the internal circulation of water W, from delivery chamber to suction chamber 4 through jacket 8 and chamber 9, allows a progressive expulsion through the delivery outlet of the air sucked from suction inlet.
  • valve 15 closes due to pressure of water W thrusting on cap-shaped end 19 and leading sleeve 17 to plug outlet 10.
  • sleeve 17 slides backwards allowing water W to internally circulate until a new steady working of the pump is reached after the elimination of the air.
  • Valve 20 comprises a spring loaded shaft 21 slidingly engaged in a hollow plug 22 stopping outlet 11.
  • Shaft 21 is provided with a cap-shaped end 23 engaging with a bushing 24, screwed in first outlet 10, on the side of suction chamber 4.
  • a screw threaded end 21a of shaft 21 engages with an adjustment knob 26 compressing a spring 14 against the outer side of hollow plug 22.
  • Valve 20 is normally closed by a cap-shaped end 23 plugging outlet 10 and the pump works like a normal centrifugal pump without any water W flowing through chamber 9.
  • shaft 21 slides in the hollow plug 22 causing cap-shaped end 23 to open outlet 10 and allow water W to flow into suction chamber 4.
  • Valve 20 modulates a circulation of water inside the pump inversely proportional to the water being delivered, thus maintaining constant pressure at the delivery side. The less water is required for use, the more the pressure inside the pump increases and the more valve 20 opens to allow circulation to the surplus quantity of water within the pump, thus stabilizing the pressure at the delivery side. When the delivery flow is turned off completely the valve 20 will open accordingly.
  • valve 20 comprises a self-priming shutter 27 which is slidingly coaxially engaged on shaft 21 and in a spring loaded way.
  • Cap-shaped end 23 comprises outlets ports 28 allowing the water W to flow through them when shutter 27 does not stop a chamber 29 defined by cap-shaped end 23.
  • shutter 27 slides backwards on shaft 21 thus opening chamber 29 and allowing the water W to flow through ports 28 into suction chamber 4.
  • chamber 29 In a steady working of the pump shutter 27 stops chamber 29 without any water W flows.
  • pressure against cap-shaped end 23 causes shaft 21 to slide in plug 22 thus opening outlet 10 and allowing flow of water W which is circulated to stabilize the pressure.
  • an electric switch 30 has been added which operates as start up or shut down of the pump according to the pressure inside the pump which is proportional to the water required.
  • Electric switch 30 opens and/or shuts a power supply circuit 31 of the engine according to the external mechanical movement of shaft 21, which is proportional to the pressure of the water at the delivery outlet.
  • shaft 21 When water at the delivery is not required, pressure increases causing shaft 21 to slide and electrical switch 30 to open supply circuit 31.
  • a demand of delivery water causes a decrease of pressure leading the shaft 21 to slide backwards shutting the supply circuit and starting up the pump engine.
  • the mechanical movement of shaft 21 allows then the use of electrical switch in the place of a more expensive and complex pressure control valve.
  • the pump according to the invention is therefore suitable for many working functions and in particular allows a combined self-priming, pressure adjustment and start-up/shut down of the engine when maximum pressure limits are overcome.
  • no complex devices and external hydraulic circuits are required and a normal working and a depth suction working are possible by using both plugs 12, 13 or only plug 12 to stop outlets 10 and 11 or only outlet 10 respectively.
